From the first episode of YnS people expect it to have bloody ending like School Day but (un)fortunately it is confirmed that YnS will not going to have something like that. Laugh at all the people who dropped YnS for hoping it will be like School Days.

I have a question... Is it true that the internet meme "Nice boat" came from the delayed ending of School Days (in 2007 I think)?

Yes. Days following the delay of the School Days finale, some guy on 4Chan posted up screens of the "final episode" and some other photos of yachts and such, accompanied by the phrase, "Nice Boat." Thus, the phrase caught on, spread about the internet, became explosively well-known and the meme was born.

0verflow kinda shows they have a sense of humor when they adapted the phrase into one of their School Days OVA's, and also naming their booth at Comiket after this...

actually i believe the term "nice boat" came from the following instance:

on the day before the final episode of School Days was meant to be played in Japan on TV, there was a big event where a young girl murdered her father with an axe in kyoto.

since the murder and how the "ending of school days" were somewhat similar, the producers decided not to air the ep, but rather replace the footage with a standstill picture of a "boat." with some classical music in the background

i may be off on some facts, but hence this is where the "nice boat" meme came from

I thought that incident was caused by the girl watching Higurashi. That's why they had to take out the scene in their opening later on with a blooded hatchet. Or was there another incident similar to that?

Not entirely sure on the details on why the girl butchered her father, but all I know is that the infamous School Days episode was meant to air a day after the event.

Nice Train came from the PS2 and HQ versions of School Days if I'm not mistaken...

Spoiler for Nice Trains:

And in fact, in the PS2 version of School Days, she isn't the only one with a train ending... there are actually five train endings in there... One of the involves the death of Kotonoha, one of them involves Makoto's death, two of them actually involve Sekai's death (which some might find ironic, since Nice Train is usually attributed to her), and last but not least, there's the final train ending which claims the lives of both girls.

However, the most (in)famous Nice Train death was from the HQ version of school days, which is the only train death in there I recall, and the actual "true" ending which immortalized Nice Train to be associated with Sekai. On page 7 of the School Days - Game thread, there's a series of screenshots that depict the that ending. I think you can look up any of these endings on youtube... frankly though, I wouldn't.

I have a question. I've seen some official pics or what seems to be being circulated showing kotonoha wearing kimono/miko clothes and wielding a katana. What chapter or volume is this in? Is it in School Days or in one of the spin-offs that shows kotonoha being a skilled swords-woman??

Is archery, kendo and whatever other martial arts (am I missing anything else) I may be missing an official canon hobby and side skill of kotonoha?
